Taking Liberties: Forced Vaccinations?

By Douglas Kennedy:

To Jennifer Workman, God Himself commands her to protect her 8 year-old daughter Madison.

“I am a steward of the Lord for this child, “she said as she walked outside her single level home in Lenore West Virginia on Monday. “And I am not going to let anyone tell me what’s best for my child.”

Workman says she was shocked when the principal told her Madison had to receive the shots.

“Helpless,” she said. “I mean there is no other word for it. I am helpless. I feel forced.”

“My child is not a ward of the state,” she explained. “And I should be able to make those choices myself.”

Workman’s attorney Patricia Finn is an expert in forced vaccination cases and she is outraged.

“This is a basic human right,” she said. “To be able to decide what is injected in our bodies, in our children’s bodies, is everything.”

Unfortunately, last December, the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals disagreed, and Finn now is vowing to take the case to the Supreme Court if necessary.

“This is a First Amendment issue. This is a 9th Amendment issue. This is about basic freedom,” she said.

Most states, explained Finn have a “religious exemption” for immunizations, giving parents who don’t want their children vaccinated an out.

She ought to homeschool if she can, that way her child will get an education.
